Champions for MS

Good Morning Champions for MS!

As of Friday evening our 115th rider has arrived. Think about it, last year we did not break 100 until 3/20…

Pretty amazing …..

It’s almost 10:00, and my emotions are running high. In 13 days I ride Phoenix, and in 6 days I turn the big 50….At this point I plan on riding Phoenix purely on heart…Although I don’t have enough miles outside…

I have to keep remembering why we do this….It’s not about the bike, or even the ride…It’s about understanding how fortunate we are every time we climb aboard our machines, and ride for those with MS….

In 13 days, I will not only ride Phoenix, my first MS tour of the season, but I will celebrate life, and know how fortunate I am at 50, to still  be able to enjoy the sport I love and share it with so many others, you my team….

MS takes away everything we take for granted….Riding…Hugging a loved one…Watching a child play baseball….

Our Job is to help get back what MS steals from those who are fighting this dreaded disease…

As a Champion for MS, we are the guardian, for those with MS…..

As a team, we provide HOPE…

We Champion the MS cause, and fight for a better quality of  life for those with MS….

This team established a standard 4 years ago…It was always more than being the best, and setting a standard….It was always about, caring more, having more Heart, being more Determined, being Safer, and by setting an example for other teams to follow…..

There is still time to register, it take just 5 minutes of your time and $30.

If you or someone you know is passionate about helping those with MS, why not  join us for 2 of the most rewarding days of your life and become a Champion for MS…

You commit to ride and we will make sure you finish…

Heart…Determination…Courage…We are Champions for MS!

You will remember your first MS 150…

Thank you.

Good Afternoon Champions for MS!

I wanted to thank all of our riders and members of the Pella team for coming out, and braving 40 and low 50 degree temps for our second weekend training ride. These days riding is all about time and distance in the saddle.

Any day on the bike is a good day on the bike.

Remember our rides are geared to all levels….Don’t ever think, am I fast enough, I don’t want to slow you down. When we ride these training rides, no one gets dropped..So come out…Have fun…Chase a few runners

Remember why we are here…The Champions for MS Team was built on the fact, that all of you truly Champion the MS cause….

You Commit to ride, and we will make sure you finish!

We have moved the Sunday ride time to 1:00 to ride in warmer temps.

We meet by the basketball courts next to the ice rink…

18+Miles….

You can do this…Join us this Sunday!

Heart…Determination…Courage…We are Champions for MS!
